Sentences with phrase «dimensional cell shapes»

From this collaboration the teams developed the LOCO - EFA technique which involves decomposing two - dimensional cell shapes — the shapes you can see under a microscope — into a series of ellipses.

«Once we have proof that we can grow cells in specific three - dimensional shapes on or inside silicon, then we hope to come back to the tissue.»

Other organs have been constructed from cultured cells, but they were built on a scaffolding to give them their three - dimensional shape.

Intravital two - photon bone imaging is superior compared with conventional analyses of the shape and form of a tissue because it enables two - dimensional scanning in bone in a focal plane to observe cell shapes and the appearance of mOBs and mOCs in the body.

Before the cell can use microtubules for these and other essential functions, it must first organize them into carefully crafted bundles, which become the basis for three dimensional shapes.

Obtaining detailed insights into their three - dimensional shape will not only help to understand how they function but also how this function is regulated in the cell.

Cells put a lot of effort into preventing proteins — which are like a string of beads arranged in a precise three - dimensional shape — from unraveling, since a protein's activity as an enzyme or structural component depends on being properly shaped and folded.

Cells build proteins by linking amino acids into a chain, which spontaneously folds into a three - dimensional shape that lets the protein do its various jobs.

Surprisingly, they observed that lumen shape was controlled by the three - dimensional organisation of ECM around cells.

The research builds on the team's previous work with a technique called three - dimensional culture, which involves incubating stem cells in a floating ball - shaped aggregate, unlike traditional cell culture in which cells grow in a flat layer on the surface of a culture dish.

Nerves and heart muscle start to struggle as vital communication channels in the cell membranes are squeezed, and many proteins can not fold into their correct three - dimensional shape properly, becoming physically deformed.

Proteins must fold into three - dimensional shapes in precise ways to do their work within human cells.

A unique dog bone - shaped dish helped heart cells created from iPSCs self - organize into three - dimensional, beating micro heart muscle.

The shape index relates the perimeter of a two - dimensional slice of the cell and its total surface area.

Specific antibodies were used as markers to bind to the structure of motor neurons so that they could be easily viewed under high - power microscopes, and a computer program performed the three - dimensional measurement of the size and shape of a motor neuron's cell body.
